As recommended by a friend and source of always different and enjoyable reading/viewing material, I recently started watching “True Blood”. For those of you that haven’t seen it, I will try not to issue too many spoilers, at least none that a pre-pubescent goth freak couldn’t grasp about 12.5 minutes into the first episode.

A few more day-to-day pictures:

The above comic was sent to me after my blog posts on Mr. Keen’s book about Internet media destroying society. The big-nosed guy on the right makes an interesting point, there will always be a need for writers no matter where we read our news.
Interestingly enough, does anyone else notice the [...]

Natural selection is an interesting subject. I was thinking, many animals have developed all sorts of mechanisms to protect themselves or to detect other predators: camouflage skin, heightened smell, night sight etc.
But one thing I don’t understand is: Why the hell do they not change the way they taste? Think about it… if a chicken [...]

I don’t usually tote things on my blog. I am not much of a toter… can you verbize the word tote? Is verbize a word? Anyway, grammar lessons aside, I just watched the movie “Stranger than Fiction”. Apparently this came out last year and was recently released on DVD. I had never heard of it, [...]

Who decided what monsters look like? Why are they typically depicted as green and furry? Why do they have big teeth and growl?

And fur isn’t scary! bunnies [...]

As many of you who are faithful readers of my rants know, I have this very unexplainable obsession with hygiene. We humans have this insane fetish with being absolutely sanitized from top to bottom, so much so that we are actually making ourselves susceptible to worse diseases, by killing the very ugly helpers that eat [...]

Typically I write about derivitives of personal thoughts and conversations, however, in light of recent events, I will combine random thoughts with actually reality.

Shedden has recently become a [...]

So I was thinking, which is scary enough in itself, but regardless. What if human beings are exactly like any other animal, except that we have this highly developed brain which causes morals, emotions, thought etc?
Do the popular lions always win Class President? Is there a class system of buzzards flying above us? Do lonley, [...]

Who invented wine? Who decided that squishing the juice out of a small fruit and then letting it rot would taste good?
I can understand milk. It was definently some teenage bet in the 1200s, some guy was like “I bet ye” (because they said ‘ye’ a lot back then) “I bet ye 20 doubloons to [...]

Today I had an Earth-shattering revelation. I have discovered who God is…
Yes, after much thought and analysis I have deciphered the age old mystery that has plagued mankind and religious sects for all eternity.
God is Asian People.
Don’t believe me? Think about it. God is Omnipresent right? Well… Asians are everywhere! There are a couple billion [...]
